(2020-10-07) Corazo Roam For Evidence Based Entrepreneurship

Kahil Corazo on USING Roam FOR SLOW-BURN EVIDENCE-BASED ENTREPRENEURSHIP (THE NERDIEST WAY TO EARN YOUR FREEDOM)*

Here's how I check whether I'm free: I could say Yes to ideas who have approached me and are asking me to bring them to reality.

Another way to check whether I'm free is to flaneur a la maestro Nassim Taleb.

The mental side of freedom is mastery over desires. The economic side of freedom is to uncouple time with money. This essentially means building a machine that creates value and gets customers while you sleep. That's pretty much the definition of entrepreneurship. (Life-Style Company)

you only need one money-maker to support saying Yes to non-commercial ideas.

build your freedom machine from first principles and designed based on your weirdness (ikigai).

At its core, freedom machines just automate two things: 1) getting customers and 2) creating value for those customers.

AlexOsterwalder broke down these 2 into 9 components in the Business Model Canvas (BMC)

How do we know whether our BMC design is based on facts and not just wishful thinking? How can we build an evidence-based business, not a faith-based business?

what we put in the BMC are just hypotheses. Building a value creation and customer acquisition machine first means knowing the truth behind these hypotheses.

Here's a list of ways to in/validate your hypotheses.

The only software I've seen designed for the process of Evidence-based Entrepreneurship is launchpadcentral.com

I made a Roaman version of this software and the process of Evidence-based Entrepreneurship, using only the simplest features

The advantage of doing this in Roam is that you could use your notes from the rest of your life as factual inputs to BMC validation.
